NECROPOLIS!

It's currently 1PM where I live, and initially, I looked forward to a whole day of lazing around reading my new book ... or rather, books. But all good thoughts come to an end, eventually.

I have unfinished homework.

-disappointing cartoon music plays-

Dang. Don't you just love exams sometimes? There's no homework, no datelines to meet and no one to bug you as long as you use the magic phrase: "I'm studying."

Besides, I don't study.

The books lies flat open on my desk and I stare blankly into space.
Then I start whining about failing the next morning.
After that, I kick myself when the results come in with poor As and moderate Bs.

Or occasional Cs.

But there are times when you really, really, really do need to study.
Your body and mind just won't cooperate with your conscience.

What I do is that I make sure I do my best to keep myself motivated.

This is what I do:

1. I frame three 4R-sized photographs of Simple Plan and place them on my desk. Whenever I look up and feel like going out to watch TV, I somehow see their faces and sit back down. It's almost like a reflex action.

2. Recall David Archuleta's study advice on Hitz.fm and also how he managed to get a 4.0 GPA during his sophomore year. 4.0 refers to all As, and if I'm not mistaken, the American high school system states that A is for marks from 94 to 100.

It helps, for someone like me who can't seem to glue her ass to the chair longer than fifteen minutes.
